UNITED STATES LIME & MINERALS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2024
RESULTS AND DECLARES REGULAR QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND
Dallas, Texas, October 30, 2024 - United States Lime & Minerals, Inc. (NASDAQ: USLM) today reported third quarter 2024 results: The Company’s revenues in the third quarter 2024 were $89.4 million, compared to $74.9 million in the third quarter 2023, an increase of $14.5 million, or 19.4%. Lime and limestone revenues were $89.2 million in the third quarter 2024, compared to $74.6 million in the third quarter 2023, an increase of $14.6 million, or 19.6%. The increase in revenues in the third quarter 2024, compared to the third quarter 2023, resulted from an increase in average selling prices for the Company’s lime and limestone products and increased sales volumes, principally to the Company’s construction and roof shingle customers.
For the first nine months 2024, the Company’s revenues were $237.7 million, compared to $215.6 million in the first nine months 2023, an increase of $22.0 million, or 10.2%. For the first nine months 2024, lime and limestone revenues were $236.9 million, compared to $214.8 million in the first nine months 2023, an increase of $22.1 million, or 10.3%. The increase in revenues in the first nine months 2024, compared to the first nine months 2023, resulted from an increase in average selling prices for the Company’s lime and limestone products, partially offset by decreased sales volumes resulting principally from decreased demand from the Company’s construction customers, offset in part by increased demand from its industrial and roof shingle customers.
The Company’s gross profit was $43.1 million in the third quarter 2024, compared to $28.2 million in the third quarter 2023, an increase of $15.0 million, or 53.1%. The Company’s gross profit was $108.5 million in the first nine months 2024, compared to $79.3 million in the first nine months 2023, an increase of $29.3 million, or 36.9%. The Company’s lime and limestone gross profit was $43.2 million in the third quarter 2024, compared to $28.2 million in the third quarter 2023, an increase of $15.0 million, or 53.3%. The Company’s lime and limestone gross profit in the first nine months 2024 was $108.7 million, compared to $79.3 million in the first nine months 2023, an increase of $29.4 million, or 37.0%. The increases in gross profit in the third quarter and first nine months 2024, compared to the comparable 2023 periods, resulted primarily from the increases in revenues discussed above and decreases in operating expenses, somewhat attributed to lower natural gas prices and optimizing fuel blends on the Company’s kilns.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $5.0 million in the third quarter 2024, compared to $4.4 million in the third quarter 2023, an increase of $0.6 million, or 14.3%. SG&A expenses were $14.7 million in the first nine months 2024, compared to $12.8 million in the first nine months 2023, an increase of $1.9 million, or 14.7%. The increases in SG&A expenses in the 2024 periods, compared to the comparable 2023 periods, were primarily due to increased personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation.
Other (income) expense, net was $3.1 million and $8.4 million in the third quarter and first nine months 2024, compared to $2.2 million and $5.5 million in the third quarter and first nine months 2023, reflecting increases of $0.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The increases in other (income) expense, net in the third quarter and first nine months 2024, compared to the comparable 2023 periods, were primarily due to interest earned on higher average balances of cash and cash equivalents.
The Company reported net income of $33.4 million ($1.16 per share diluted) and $81.8 million ($2.85 per share diluted) in the third quarter and first nine months 2024, compared to $20.7 million ($0.73 per share diluted) and $57.5 million ($2.02 per share diluted) in the third quarter and first nine months 2023, reflecting increases of $12.6 million, or 60.9%, and $24.3 million, or 42.2%, respectively.
“While our overall construction demand is down for the year-to-date, we did see improved demand from our construction customers in the third quarter 2024 as weather conditions in the South-Central United States returned to a more normal pattern compared to the heavier than usual rainfalls that we experienced in the first half 2024,” said Timothy W. Byrne, President and Chief Executive Officer.
